معرفی
Sergey Glebov is Professor of History at Smith College with a joint appointment in the History Departments of Smith and Amherst colleges. His academic work centers on the intellectual, political and cultural history of the Russian empire and Soviet Union, particularly examining ideologies of imperial expansion, Russian nationalism, and Russia's nationalities. He maintains an active scholarly profile with numerous publications and serves as a founding editor of Ab Imperio: Studies in New Imperial History and Nationalism in the Post-Soviet Space.
Glebov's research interests focus on the history of the Russian Empire in Siberia, the Far East, and North America, with particular attention to interactions between native peoples and imperial structures, and the history of missionary activities and scholarly exploration. His work on the Eurasianist movement connects reimaginings of Russian imperial space with the emerging structuralism in interwar Europe, creating important theoretical bridges between Russian intellectual history and broader European thought.
His scholarly output demonstrates consistent engagement with themes of imperial subjecthood, colonialism, and post-colonial theory, particularly examining how these concepts apply to the Russian imperial context. Glebov frequently collaborates with other leading scholars in the field, as evidenced by his co-authored publications with researchers like Ilya Gerasimov and Marina Mogilner.
- Major Publications:
- From Empire to Eurasia: Politics, Scholarship and Ideology in Russian Eurasianism, 1920s – 1930s (2017)
- Between Europe and Asia: The Origins, Theories and Legacies of Russian Eurasianism (2015, co-edited)
- Region v istorii imperii: istoricheskie esse of Sibiri (2013)
As an active member of the academic community, Glebov maintains regular office hours for students and continues to produce significant scholarly work, with publications extending through 2023. His research contributes substantially to our understanding of Russian imperialism, Eurasian identity, and the complex relationship between center and periphery in imperial systems.
